5. Resolution 4740 - Reconsideration of Policy Statements - Master Plan - West View EstatesTri-City Planning Office 17 Second Street East - Suite 211 Kalispell, Montana 59901 Phone: (406) 751-1850 Fax: (406) 751-1858 tricity@centurytel.net REPORT TO: Kalispell Mayor and City Council FROM: Narda A. Wilson, Senior Planner Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager SUBJECT: Reconsideration of Policy Statements for the West View Estates Master Plan Amendment MEETING DATE: September 3, 2002 BACKGROUND: On July 1, 2002 the Kalispell City Council passed a resolution to amend the Kalispell City -County Master Plan to accommodate a proposal by Mark Owens, dba LBO Limited Partnership, on approximately 58 acres for property located at the northeast corner of Stillwater Road and West Reserve Drive. As part of the master plan amendment, some goals and policies were adopted as part of the development plan. When the amendment was considered by the city council, two amendments were made to the goals and policies for the proposal. One amendment was recommended by the Kalispell City Planning Board which is to require the area to the east adjoining Stillwater Estates be developed with single family homes. The other amendment was added by the Kalispell City Council to require a minimum 100 foot buffer along West Reserve Drive between the roadway and the development site. The applicant; in response to the concerns raised by the neighbors, the planning board and city council; has redesigned the proposed development plans and consequently the subdivision to accommodate and address those issues. Attached with this memo is a copy of the letter submitted by the surveyor on the applicants behalf and a copy of the revised development proposal. You will note that primary access to the subdivision along West Reserve Drive has been relocated near the eastern portion of the property with lots fronting on both sides of the internal access road. This area would be proposed to be zoned and developed for single family homes and the lots are somewhat larger than those located more internally. This change increases the Urban Residential area from approximately 42 acres to approximately 48 acres. Additionally, the remaining portion of the site consisting of approximately 10 acres would be used for duplex, townhouse and potentially multi -family dwellings and the initial plans for development of non-residential uses in this area have been abandoned. This area would be designated as High Density Residential and, upon annexation would have a zoning assignment to reflect the intent for residential use of the property. In lieu of the 100 foot buffer along West Reserve Drive, the applicants are proposing that a 10 foot dedication of right-of-way along West Reserve Drive be granted along with an Providing Community Planning Assistance To: • City of Kalispell • City of Columbia Falls • City of Whitefish West View Estates Master Plan Amendment August 22, 2002 Page 2 additional 25 foot landscape buffer. This would provide a 35 foot separation between the West Reserve Drive right-of-way and development within the subdivision. Because the area previously designated as Neighborhood Commercial will have potentially less impact as High Density Residential, it would seem unnecessary to take this change back before the planning board for consideration. The staff and applicant are anticipating that the city council would concur with that assessment and approve the proposed changes before them. Taking into consideration the issues identified by the planning board, city council and neighbors, the developer has made these changes. He would like to move forward with the annexation, zoning and subdivision proposal, but changes to the goals and policies of the development plan need to be addressed prior to consideration by the planning board. The applicant would respectfully request that the city council look favorably upon the proposed changes as a good faith effort to address the concerns that have been identified and in the spirit of compromise and cooperation. After discussing these proposed changes among the City staff, there is agreement that the proposed changes should be adopted by the city council. Attached with this memo are the needed amendments to the goals and policies to reflect the proposed changes. RECOMMENDATION: A motion to revise the goals and policies for the West View Estates Development Plan as outlined on Attachment A would be appropriate. FISCAL EFFECTS: Undetermined ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the city council. Respectfully submitted, -% ti:-b� Narda A. Wilson Chris A.
